This may be a stupid question but

since ND is using source does that mean that there is the possibility of tons of servers being like TF2 and CSS where the game is altered a lot with Quake sounds, RTD games etc?

[Orange Ninja]

Yes, admins can put custom plug-ins/addons onto their servers which alter sounds/game modes/skins etc. If you really want to avoid them, you can always add your favourite vanilla servers to your favourites list.

To disable the Quake sounds, usually these instructions (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=312255) will work on Source games.

It may be a little while; as this is a custom build of the source engine though. That being the case the developers of plugins and plugin systems will most likely have to build specifically against Nuclear Dawn as they do with other Source Engine games that aren't directly Valve products...

When we launch Sourcemod and Metamod will support Nuclear Dawn ;) This has already been covered.

gotcha; ahead of the game
